In respect of a solution for the permanent school to which the Deputy refers, the Department is examining all options. In order to better inform these deliberations the Department has undertaken a site identification process in the greater Bray area. The site identification process has identified one site with some potential. However to advance to negotiations the Department is currently seeking clarification on a number of issues which would impact on the deliverability of this site in a timely manner.
A second site option has been brought to the attention of the Department which may be suitable as a permanent location for the school. A technical assessment is currently being carried out on this potential site option.
A solution for the school remains a priority for my Department. The school patron will be kept informed of any key developments.
Due to commercial sensitivities the Department cannot provide any further information at this time.
